 | | The main cod fisheries are in the North Sea, and off the coasts of Iceland and Newfoundland, Canada. |
 | | In January 2001, an emergency ban on cod fishing in parts of the North Sea was announced by European officials as part of a series of measures designed to prevent the collapse of threatened fish stocks. |
 | | It was revealed that the spawning stock of cod in the North Sea had fallen from 277,000 tonnes in 1971 to 59,000 tonnes at the beginning of 2001, and more than 103,600 sq km/40,000 sq mi of sea were closed to fishing from 13 February for 10 weeks. |
